like this is going to happen. >> reporter: all of the children ended up getting approval dpept for one child didn't make it. 53 were the total number they brought back. that one little baby girl fell asleep on the bus, missed the plane and found her on the bus and got her on another plane. 54 children are now in pittsburgh right now. ail he lex ander and his parents are together in pennsylvania tonight having a very happy reunion. listen. >> i don't think i was say anything. >> i just kissed him and hugged him and checked him out and made sure for myself that he was okay. >> yeah. >> ross and jean are new parents in pennsylvania. he's in a hospital tonight for observation. they fly back to wichita, kansas, their hometown tomorrow. >> that's great. good for them. they're such nice parents. they were waiting a long, long

time for that. that does it for this edition of "360." it's the end of yet another remarkable day here in port-au-prince. for all of us on the ground here and everyone back home, thank you for watching. we will be here tomorrow night and the night after that and the night after that. let's turn it over now to a special "late edition" of "larry king live." larry. >> larry: that's next on "larry king live." >> larry: welcome back to a special midnight edition of larry king live on what is a historic he night in politics. ted kennedy's seat in the u.s. senate which he occupied for 46 years until his death last year has been won by a republican,

scott brown, defeated democrat martha cokely in a special election which changed a lot of things including the balance of power and president obama's agenda, which could well be in jeopardy. with us in this first segment of this special hour, wolf blitzer the anchor of "situation room" and john king the anchor of "state of the union," jessica yellen is at the coakley headquarters at the scherr ton hotel in boston and dana bash, cnn's senior congressional correspondent. how did brown win, wolf? >> he got out the independents. he was impressive in doing that, convincing a lot of independents and probably a lot of democrats at the same time that he would be a better united states senator. it was an uphill struggle. it was only a few weeks ago, larry, that everybody assumed that ted kennedy's seat would

be -- remain in democratic hands, martha coakley was a pretty popular attorney general. she had a good brand name. no doubt about that. things did not go in her way, and within the past two or three weeks it began to collapse pretty quickly. all of a sudden he wins rather decisively. he got 52% and she got 47% of the vote. that's an impressive he victory, especially for a republican in the state of massachusetts. >> larry: john, a lot of times in sports as we know we don't know approximate if the winning team won or the losing team lost. did brown win this, or did coakley lose it it? >> reporter: that's a great way to put it, larry . if you talk to everybody here, they say a little bit of both. you can see the celebration here. the band is back on after midnight. koakled did not run a great campaign. people are just as mad if not

more mad about the economy, just as worried about jobs than they were in 2008. they're still mad at wall street and the bail outs and on top of that scott brown ran a foeked and disciplined campaign and had superb campaign staff around her. tapped into economic anxiety, spending anxiety and the sense in massachusetts all those independents will talked about, they thought naively but they thought barack obama would make washington different sooner. the independents don't like at you will the part sdplanship. tonight they sent a message. >> larry: jessica we heard what a bad or poor candidate martha coakley was. in her concession speech she seemed clear-headed and had a nice voice and good approach to the crowd. what went wrong? >> reporter: you know, she's been an elected official in the state for many years, so she knows how to be with people. she's not unlikeable, but many

felt she didn't have the fire in her belly. when you talk to folks on the street lashgsy, they didn't feel like she was going to do it pous. that she would fight for them. she did make some really crucial missteps. she went and asked a reporter what do you expect me to do? stand outside the baseball stadium and shake hands in the cold? in american politics the answer is yes. she came off as aloof, detached and voters felt it it. john was pointing out something that her pam contain has said over and over. there's a sense that change in washington hasn't come fast enough. there's a tidal wave of anger coming toward her that they miscalculated. they didn't respect the intensity of it and didn't respond quickly enough. the republican did, larry. >> larry: dana bash, what's the sentiment on the hill? is there a chance the house will pass the senate version and get this quicked passed by going to the senate and they'll approve it, they don't need 60 votes? >> reporter: it looks very, very

unlikely this evening. i spoke to many how democratic lawmakers, and many said they don't see it possible. they personally would not vote yes, and all you need is a couple of house democrats to drop off. that throws that idea of the house passing the senate bill out the window. what is next? that is such a big question mark. house democratic leaders huddled in nancy pelosi's office a short while ago to watch the returns, and they're trying to figure out what to do with health care. there is no clearer path. all of the options are very, very bad when it comes to trying to hold onto that very, very big and broad health care bill. it actually surprised me larry several rank and file democrats told me that they think that maybe the best thing to do is to scrap that big bill and to go for something smaller that has a lot of support, at least the provisions in this particular

bill have a lot of support, and aim small and move on and talk about what they really want to talk about because that's when they hear from back home, jobs. >> larry: wolf we have about a minute left in the segment. isn't it unusual to think in all these years everyone sdz we don't have the best health system. everyone says that, and we've never been able to pass a major health bill. >> it's taken so long this time. think about this, larry. it's not now after midnight, so it's january 20th. actually one year when barack obama was inaugurated. very popular with so much popularity behind him. the thought was to get it passed relatively quickly. it's gone on and on and on and now exactly one year later, democrats lose in massachusetts, in new jersey, in virginia, the statewide contests and it looks different, the political environment now than it did exactly one year ago.

>> larry: wolf blitzer, thank you for yoman-like worm all night long. when we come back we meet our panel of pundits and experts. don't go away. approximate

>> larry: let's meet our first political panel. in washington andrew card. he was white house chief of

staff to president george w. bush. he voted for brown. here in los angeles tanya acker. back in washington our man david gergen, cnn's senior political analyst and adviser to presidents nixon, ford, reagan and clinton. scott brown took a popular stance during his campaign, very much an it's against us big, bad washington theme. he sounded that theme in his victory speech. >> i will remember while the honor is mine, this senate seat belongs to no one person and political party. as i said before and you've heard it today and you'll hear it loud and clear, this is the people's seat! >> larry: andy card, do you think the republicans might not take credit for it if it's the people's seat?

>> the republicans will take credit for it it, but scott brown skefshs the bulk was credit. he ran a very disciplined campaign and was not phony. he was the real thing. this is the people's seat. it belongs to the people of massachusetts and scott brown says that he'll take good care of it and make sure they're part of the process rather than being dictated to or preached at. >> larry: does that mean he will serve the liberal interests of that most liberal of states? >> scott brown is a very able representative of the people. he served extremely well as a state representative in massachusetts. he's been a state senator in massachusetts, and he has a great record. he works well across the aisle. make no bones about it, he campaigned on the issues and listened to the people and responded to the arrogance that the people saw in the coakley campaign, the obama administration, and in washington, d.c. so i think this was a response to the arrogance that we've seen in the political process over the last four or five months. >> larry: tanya, why do you

laugh sf. >> i have to laugh a little bit because the democrats lost ted kennedy's senate seat to a republican against providing aid for 9/11 workers and posed nude in "cosmopolitan." what i think is going on here -- it's really nice that the guy that now makes himself a populist. democrats need to decide what it is they stand for, who it is they're fighting for and get behind a real theme. a lot of the things in this health care bill, for instance, things like bans on pre-existing conditions, bans on abusive insurance company practices of dropping people that get sick, these are things that the people wanted but the democrats were just set back and let the republicans turn those things into socialism. that's why they lost. that's why they're losing this conversation. >> larry: the puzzle is massachusetts has all those things. >> that's certainly true, larry,

but scott brown is a very effective and somewhat car raz mattic figure. this is his tenth straight victory. he's never lost an election. he does well at this, and that's because he does connect well to people. he was the populist in a pickup truck, and it worked. but i think for democrats not to understand when scott brown won, he won on issues as andy card said and he made it a referendum on washington. it was effective. on health care even though massachusetts has health care, larry. he argued effectively that the bill that was going to come due at the national level that martha coakley was supporting and the other bills were going to drive spending up over $2 trillion. a lot of people in massachusetts didn't want to do that. >> larry: gloria, was this a national race? >> well, i think it was.

i think, as everyone has said, that it was a good race that this candidate ran, but i think he nationalized the race when he came out and said, look, i want to be that vote that kills health care reform. he turned it into a national race, and what he did very smartly was not only make it an anti-washington race but an anti-insider race. he made barack obama and the democrats in congress look like he insiders who were not bringing the change that the people had voted for. that, in fact, when they were writing their health care bill behind closed doors in the united states senate and then the house of representatives, they were cutting deals with big labor and with members of the senate. people just were offended by that, and it gave state senator brown, now senator brown, awn opportunity to kind of dig into that hole a little more and say

to the people, this is not the kind of change that you voted for, and look, barack obama and the dpems have become the corrupt majority and we need to change that. very ma very smart. >> larry: we'll be back with more after this. what's going on? we ordered a gift online and we really need to do something with it... i'm just not sure what... what is it? oh just return it. returning gifts is easier than ever with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate.

plus i can pick it up for free. perfect because we have to get that outta this house. c'mon, it's not that... gahh, oh yeah that's gotta go... priority mail flat rate shipping starts at $4.95 only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship and return. i am brutally honest on my own performances. we will be honest about the assessment of this race. although i'm very disappointed, i always respect the voter's choice. >> larry: if you're watching in the east, we're doing wednesday morning quarterbacking. andy card, should the president take this personally? >> i don't think he should, but he probably will.

this is a very significant defeat for him. today is literally the anniversary of him taking the oath of office to be president. i'm not sure this is how he planned on celebrating that anniversary. so this is a wake-up call. actually, it was the voters saying, hello. we care about some things, and you're doing them wrong. i'm sure that president obama has heard that hello. >> larry: tanya, was it a wake-up call for your line of thinking? >> of course it is. a lot of folks think the president has spent more time trying to engage in this bipartisan dance with people who have no interest working with him. let's not forget -- i can appreciate the analysis that this is a referendum on health care. there are folk that is position themselves who said this will break him, and they set out to do that. i'm not prepared to see that will happen now. it's interesting the way we're

framing this conversation. people wanted a lot of things that are in this bill. the democrats have not done the work that was necessary to sell those things. >> larry: david, can the democrats approximately off something with the house approving the senate side and getting a bill? >> i think they're in a very difficult dilemma now. they go forward with a great big health care bill in the face of this pub opposition. they'll pay a huge price. if they don't deliver on health care reform, they'll pay a huge price. i don't know how we'll get there, but my sense is we wind up with a bill that's skiled back considerably. it probably be much less expensive and bringing insurance reform. i think there's going to be a tension within the democratic party. tanya is arguing the progressive view and saying you have to fight for the liberal causes

versus others who are moderated in the party saying no. we have to figure out a way to get more to the center, work with the opposition, and get together on jobs and get things done on this. this is not the time to come out for that. they have to resolve that in the white house. i don't know which way the president will come down on that subject. >> gloria, what's going to happen? >> with we don't know what's going to happen because they're behinds doors to figure it out right now. if you look at this election, we always say massachusetts is the bluest of the blue states. 51% of the voters in that sat self-identify as independent voters. they're very important to president obama. they helped get him elected, in fact, got him elected, and democrats need to figure out a better way to talk to those independent voters. what you hear from moderate house democratics is that they're afraid to vote for this

health care reform package or any health care reform package because they say what happened to martha coakley in the state of massachusetts. this president has to figure out a way and there are smart people at the white house, he has to figure out a way to pivot now. it's interesting to see what he does. does he become the populist that he said was in the campaign -- he accused the hillary clinton of false populism? does he narrow his agenda? what about health care? lots of big decisions over there. >> david gerg again and gloer are reeving us getting a well-deserved res. we'll be joined by amanda carpenter and paul. don't go away. let's get chinese

should we order panda blossom, panda moon... how about chinese at home with new wanchai ferry? you can make it in just 14 minutes mmmh, orange chicken. great. i didn't feel like going out anyway (announcer) wanchai ferry. restaurant quality chinese in your grocer's freezer my nose and right around here. (announcer) want to give afrin a try? yeah. it cleared up right away. i can breathe. (announcer) so where would you rate it? 99.9. (announcer) afrin. why suffer?

>> there's a dramatic need in haiti. this is a story that demonstrating that. >> whatever is coming, it has to come quickly. >> your son is alive and well here in haiti. >> larry: we're joined by amanda carpenter for the washington times. and paul is the democratic strategist and cnn political contributor. let's get them into the conversation. amanda, what do you make of this vote tonight? >> it's going to clearly change the debate when it comes to health care, but i think that people are really blaming martha coakley for being a bad candidate and not crediting scott brown for running a spectacular campaign. he had a clear message. he's the 41st vote against health care and oppose cap and trade examine get tough on the terrorists, and those were the defining issues that the

republican party will want to run on as well in future elections. >> larry: how stinging a defeat for your side? >> it hurts too much to laugh, but i'm too old to cry. i think that's how democrats are feeling right now. i want to pick up on what amanda said. senator-elect brown ran a terrific campaign. not only a nearly perfect campaign, but about the worst campaign from a democrat we've seen since i don't know why. she mocked the democrat brown for going out to fenway park where they had a hockey game outdoors and shaking hands. she moeked him for that. she said curt schilling was a yankee fan. just on and on. she only campaigned at 19 events in the first 30 days. now, you know, i worked for bill clinton. he did 19 events a day. teddy kennedy would have done 19

events a day and he worked for that seat. senator-elect brown noticed that tonight. kudos to senator brown was working hard. democrats have to understand who is your candidate. it doesn't matter how your campaign is run. >> larry: andy card, do you think this will affect the state of the union next week? >> i don't know that it couldn't. i think it will change the way they were planning to have a message on this state of the union address. so, yeah, the work of the last six weeks at the white house is all now being reviewed, and they don't have a good message to celebrate much of anything. so it's going to be very interesting to see what the president does say when he talks about the sfat of the union. the state of the union is not good. >> larry: andy has a lot of experience. does it affect the state of the

union? >> absolutely. to harken back to the point he was raising earlier, i didn't make this up. barack obama got elected president of the united states because a majority of the country wanted change. they wanted health care reform and they wanted to regulate a lot of abusive insurance company addresses. now scott brown -- amanda is right. he ran a masterful campaign, and martha ran a terrible one. that being said, you know, folks want these changes, but i don't know who they expect to do them. superman does not swoop in and give us health care reform and government does those things. until democrats reclaim the conversation and talk about a reasonable roll in government, we'll keep loog losing elections. >> will you admit the public definitely wants reform in health care. absolutely. the best move is to back trap and reset and start with common sense. letting people buy insurance across state lyons. superman did try to save in and

save martha coakley. if you look at his speech sunday, that was all over the place. you have to question the missteps of their making when they belittle the trouble over and oebl again. he campaigned for the tax that scott brown was opposing. the democratic messages seems all over the place at the highest levels. >> paul, how badly does this faekt the president? >> well, you know this will be a bit of a character test for him. my own view is he has a good deal more steel in his spine than his critics i believe, and i think daifsh i -- i hope weigh see a tougher, stronger obama. i don't think verndz is ever a good strategy and i don't think the people want weakness in their leader. he believes in these things and health care reform and deficit reductions that democratics did

when the we balance the budget. he ought to really believe in these causes and fight for this. >> larry: we'll take the break and get the cost of what andy thinks about all that. don't go away. a new way from alka-seltzer plus to... get cold and flu relief in a taste-free, fizz-free powder. alka-seltzer plus.

>> larry: andy card, do you believe with him? >> i think politics should stick to the principles but the president has to be pragmatic. he has to get congress to pass the laws. right now president obama will be dealing with a very, very paranoid congress. house and senate. there are no blue states anymore. they're all purple, and he's going to have to work hard to get the votes in order to have legislation show up his desk. it will not be as he wants it, but maybe as he needs it. i don't think he should be so arrogant to say it's my way or the highway, because the highway will lead nowhere. >> larry: tanya, can he take a lead from rosefield's book. >> he might want to take a lead from george w. bush's book, and

say there's some things i believe in and make you suffer political consequences if you don't join my party. i think that the things that barack obama campaigned for and the reason why people elected him are things that -- a majority of the country believes in. the democrats are not doing a good job selling those ideas. they need to sell those ideas and make the other side on board. right now we lose the messaging campaign, losing that fight. >> it is true the last we checked obama was laekd. he came pained on doing health care. if he doesn't get it, it's a major mark on the legacy. it's kind of short-sighted to think he's going to double-down and get tough. to what effect? you no longer have 60 votes. the best thing to do is figure out where he can get republican cooperation on common sense things people like in terms of health care reform do-able, in terms of transparency.

he said no more back door deals. start there and maybe you can get something. >> larry: paul, is 60 votes s k sacracinct. i didn't think it's magical. it's difficult to pass legislation through the senate. what's the best way? i think this president has been very pragmatic and accepted over 200 republican amendments in his health care bill to which he's got zero votes in the senate. you always negotiate out of strength. the reps are not going to compromise with him if they think he's weakened and he has laid down. he needs to challenge them and say here's my plan. where's your. a plan almost identical to bk's in mass.

we make the banks pay off the bailout, where's your plan? how about his plan for reform. tomorrow the republicans can do what obama does, which is refer to take money from lobbyists. let's see scott brown. let's see the republican party. >> larry: andy, how would you respond to those points. >> first of all, the hyperbole rather than reality. i think president obama will face a very difficult challenge within his own party, and he's not shown strong resolve to the american people, and therefore there's not a lot of people in his own party ready to follow him. so i think he has real challenges in the leadership in house and senate have real challenges. it's hard to get the votes. i helped a president try to get the votes in kank. it will not be easy. you can't get noticing done if you don't get the votes from

congress. >> larry: he's not a dictator, notwithstanding what some of the tea partiers want to call him. i think that all of those pointses are absolutely right. again, i'm going to strongly second him on this. there's no way that having -- i mean, we're having this conversation on a little by of a vacuum and a little bit of an ahistorical way. to suggest that the democrats in congress and this president didn't try to negotiate with republicans and health care reform, that's just false. it's not true. what's been dmoen straighted is they're not interesting in porking with him. now he has to make the decision about how much of a risk does he want to to go. >> thank you all very much. this will be water cooler discussion all day tomorrow. i am in the process of reading one of the most extraordinary books i have ever picked up. the book is called "game change," and theco aurtors are with us next.

>> i hope they're paying close attention because tonight the independent voice of massachusetts has spoken. >> larry: there's an extraordinary book, it's a major best seller titled "game change." the co-authors are mark halperin and john heilmi heilman the co-

of "game change." before i discuss this election tonight and other things, mark as you discovered all you discovered about jonathan -- about john edwards and elizabeth edwards, about the mccains, the obamas, the clintons, about governor palin, were you shocked yourself? mark, we'll start with you. >> we were because we covered this campaign closely, the whole country of paying attention. one of the challenges was there more to say about the most overcovered campaign of all time. onand i would leave our interviews and reach the conclusion that we were covering want campaign with a bag over our head. there was so much going on behind the scenes that we didn't know until we did the reporting for the book. >> john, what was your reaction as you discovered all these incredible things. >> we try to keep poker faces.

we did over 300 interviews with more than 200 sources for the book. often in extendsed settings over long, long lunches, long dinners and three hours long. many sources tell us stories that we found shocking and unbelievable. we had to keep our composure, but as we walked out we were shaking our heads if disbelief in some things we learned. it was an exhilirating experience and also a little depressing because it makes you realize how much is going on behind the scene that a well-known reporter knows nothing about it. >> the book takes no prisoners, republicans and democrats. it was it tough to wreet for elizabeth edwards. >> sheets gone through losing a teenage son in an auto accident, having his battle with cancer twice. no one could look at that seft

circumstances and not bad for her, including a lot around her. as we reported the book there was a uniform view that we thought was important to tell the pub because it wasn't just to go hard at elizabeth edwards. the point was here was a guy who could have been the democratic nominee for president, who could have president of the united states, his wife was at times more famous than he was after her book about her fight against cancer appearance on ora. our accounts mandates we stel the complete story which is a different port trait of her than had been reported before. >> not very flattering at all. john, were you surprised to learn about the difficulty in the marriage of the mccains? >> it's one of things we heard about while we were covering the campaign. when we started to talk to people for the book, it was sort of stunning how many people who work for us the fact there was

no such frikt between them and it was so public. that was the thing that stunned their advisers that they would often fight with each other in front of people. it caused a lot of disruption, and it was a problem they felt they had to manage. they spent a lot of time anying about that problem and how to make sure they kept up a public image that didn't let this private reality show through. we reported when video people would go to shoot ads they would have to keep the cameras rolling for hours to catch a couple moments of warmth between them. one of the things we do in the book is tell about the high human drama of the campaign. just as much was to try to show people that what the gap is between the private realities of these candidates and their public images, that's important historically to do. we thought we had to lay it all out there. >> larry: that comes in almost every case.

folks, i'm telling you you will not put it down. "game change" is incredible. we'll ask them about the occurrences in massachusetts after this.

term and the long term this is a huge problem for the democratic party. andy card said earlier on the program, it would be stunning if this white house, which has not made any course corrections in the first year didn't make a course correction in time for the state of the union and the budget. >> it's really devastating to the democratic party and the white house. i agree with what marked. one of the things we write about in the wook is the way obama reacted in situations of crisis in his own campaign. he was steady throughout the 2008 campaigns, but when things like precarious and things went rong, he could pull his campaign to the right or left when he needed to. he'll find himself in a pressure-filled situation right now. he might just able to do it. >> he he still remains popular? can he too it? >> he can help them and it's

certainly between his popularity and his wives it's probably one of the leegd things he has going for him. what needs to do is find himself better and the results in massachusetts suggest that definition has to involve the independent voters and recapt e recapturing the change. this new proposal to levy a fee on banks to pay back the money they borrowed i think is the way to recapture that. he has to be more populist and fired up and a little more unified in what he says. all of the proposals have to come together to give people a sense of direction. i don't think he's done that well in the last few months on domestic powerful. the republican party without a message saying we're not the democrats and thrive like they did tonight in massachusetts. >> what about the night that sprided you. >> one of the things most surprising was it it was unlike

the candidates, there was not as gaet a gap for michelle obama and the property reality. one of the great stories of the campaign is told over and over again after they conduct it had and won was the race was not a big factor in their campaign. bk gets in through the prime contest with hillary clinton, and we'll be shoveling the buck it's the top of the mine from the very beginning. a strong motivating factor from the beginning. through the nomination and the general election, he was constantly obsessioned with the question, how it might hurt him. we detailed a secure that was coming from the paint campaign. it was on become's mind. it indicate that is -- although his victory was a red

corporation led for want did you not. it was not a bunch of post-rachelism. that was over want candidate. that was from the convention about the campaign. >> did the reaction to the harry reid revelation, the react to it surprise you, mark? >> it did larry, for a number of reasons. probably most -- we thought one of the biggest stories in the books making news and involving history involved harry reid. it wasn't all the marks that had all the attention. democratic senators were hi hillary. he said brain damage? in 2008. twhoeshged to hope for he ran because there's the the potential. >> larry: governor palin didn't come off well in game change,

does she? >> no, she doesn't. we also wanted to say it's path thettic. one of the things that was brought to our attention in the book, and we can do it. our reporting shows in vivid details how slip shot the process of selecting her was. i think that alts the the port freight is unflattering in terms of her substandard prefisht see, i know it's more damming in some respect forjohn mccain. the pros by which he chose did not serve sal lynn well either. >> yeah. the book is terrific. thanks, you guys. >> larry thank you. the book is "game change." trust me on this one. this is a summary of it. we'll step away from politics and the heart felt bank on behalf of the fooel people of haiti.
